You should get a prompt if your client's rexec command is working, even if the server isn't responding. I tried "rexec -l abc def ghi", which cannot work because computer "def" is unknown, and if it did exist, user "abc" would be an unlikely name. There was nonetheless a request for a password. Or did you specify the password with the command? In that case, perhaps it's your server's firewall, which I believe must allow in tcp port 512 to serve rexec. Or maybe xinetd, which runs the rexec server and many other things, is not running -- check with "service xinetd status". If xinetd is not running, do "service xinetd start", and to have it run when your computer is booted, do "chkconfig xinetd on". It's my understanding that "chkconfig rexec on" changes "disable = yes" to "disable = no" in /etc/xinetd.d/rexec, and then causes xinetd to reread the configuration files. You can check that the file does have "disable = no", and edit it yourself if it doesn't. To force xinetd to reread the configuration files, first find its pid with, say, "ps auxw|grep xinetd", then do "kill -HUP <pid of xinetd>". If none of this helps, maybe somebody else knows what to do. I myself never use rexec.
